Every smile
Every laugh
Every tear
Every attempt to hide the sadness

It is all strength
I am living
I am surviving

My past
My story
It's a tribute to me

It shows I can live
Even after heartbreak
Even after ****
Even after assault
Even after being used by friends
Even after losing friends

I have survived this long
I will survive the rest of my journey

And in the end anyone who has Crossed me will see

I am victorious
I am special and wonderful
And they lost out on having me
They lost out on my love and care.
